This implies connecting the school with the economy, the labour market and the local / regional community with a special emphasis on mentoring and experiential learning. Entrepreneurship as a value and entrepreneurship as a cross-curricular topic are complementary to all other subjects and cross-curricular topics and are included in all cycles and all subjects and extracurricular activities.
